Purify Your Body For Maximum Vitality



Do you feel sluggish, live in a fog, crave sweets, constantly tired but can't sleep, overweight, have elevated cholesterol levels, or just want to have a little more energy? What about a lot more energy?
Most of the problems listed above have their root cause in dietary deficiencies and excesses that, over time, have a dramatic effect on the body. Additionally, exposure to environmental toxins from pollution in the air to personal care products, to the off gassing from the vinyl in your car, burdens your system, causing it to lose efficiency.
The organs for digestion and assimilation of nutrients are the gastro intestinal tract, the pancreas, the liver, gallbladder, and spleen. These organs are designed to process whole balanced foods the way they are found in nature. As we ingest processed foods, the system slowly becomes bogged down with the extra effort required to obtain a balanced nutrient load from an unbalanced diet.
The primary organs of detoxification and excretion are the liver, lymph system, the skin, the kidneys, and the intestine. When the body is healthy, these organs work in concert to identify and excrete cellular wastes and any other substance that is not useful or beneficial to the body. As the liver function becomes sluggish from the dietary load, it can no longer do as good of a job at detoxification, lipid balance, and hormonal regulation for example. The metabolism slows, the cholesterol rises, and the hormones start to stray from their delicate balance.
Thus, in order to address the issues above, we need to not only cleanse the body, but also to nourish it as well. When the body is cleansed, as well as nouished properly, it can come back to balance relatively quickly. With the addition of lean muscle mass, one can really start to affect not only ones muscle tone and energy level, but, over time, ones weight as well.
